IBOS

Hardwork: Honestly speaking, Ibos are generally hardworking. They are highly industrious. They put in their very best to ensure that they excel in their businesses. They work diligently to earn means of livelihood to feed themselves and their families. They are not lazy. One can hardly find any of them begging.

A colleague of mine was coming from United Arab Emirate to Nigeria in a plane. He was a student. According to him, in that plane of about 150 passengers, over one hundred of them were Ibos on business trip!

I served in a village in Kaduna North very close to Funtua in Katsina some years back. In that village, there was no electricity, no pipe-borne water; no telecommunication. The village was a country on its own out of Nigeria. There was an Ibo man living in that village who supplies the entire villagers with household needs. He owns a big supermarket in the village and sells different things for the villagers. He normally buys the items from the South and takes them down to the village to sell. He lives in the village with his wife and kids. He only travels to his home town in the East during festive periods e.g Christmas and when the need arises. He did not even fear for his life being the only Ibo in the whole village! I really appreciate the man.

Summarily, Ibos are generally highly industrious and hardworking people. To our Ibo brothers and sisters, I say kudos to you all!


HAUSAS

Trust: Hausa are generally trustworthy. If an average Hausa man tells you 'Good morning', then, you should know the period of the day is actually morning. Hausas are like pigeons which stay with the house owner till death. This attribute of Hausas is indeed worthy of emulation.


YORUBAS

Child's Upbringing: When it comes to the issue of training children with ethics and moral uprightness, Yorubas are fore runners, even before the advent of missionaries. Even in adversity! A typical poor Yoruba parent with only garri and groundnut would teach his/her children to be contented and be morally upright with the garri and groundnut. This attribute is also worthy of emulation.


As a nation, we should try to emulate and emphasise the good sides of one another rather than attacking one another and being tribalistic. This would go a long way in strengthening our unity in diversity.


Feel free to add yours.
